Package: firefox Version: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-1 Severity: wishlist If I run FF locally and start an instance over SSH on a remote machine, all I get is a new window on the local instance. This is surely not expected behaviour.
I have been told it's possible to tweak this (PING_something variable), but have not been able to find out how. I would like to request it to be the default for FF to keep instances apart. Sure, if the user requests this "smart instance management", all the better that FF comes with it, but on a Unix system, the standard is for a remote instance to open itself, not find a local instance first.
